Letter to the Editor: Different presidents, and different reactions

President Bush sent troops into Iraq without U.N. approval because Saddam Hussein had gassed the Kurds in the north. His own people. They disagreed with his politics and religion, so he gassed them. Bush claimed he simply wanted to rid the country of weapons of mass destruction and punish Saddam, but nobody really believed him. It had to be about the oil.

If you remember, the Democrats and the liberal press were outraged. There was no U.N. approval.

Now a few years later, there's a different U.S. president. Another Middle East president gasses his people because they disagree with his politics and religion. President Obama wants to militarily punish President Assad of Syria without U.N. approval. And nobody believes him either. Not one person I've talked to believes we should go into Syria.

Where's the outrage from the Democrats? Where's the outrage from the liberal press?
